"The blOck-house contains nothing

1.-THE following story Is related OF
Wayne's burial. He died December
Is, 1895, and was buried at the foot OF
the flagstaff by the old block-house.-
In 1909, his son, living on the old home
stead in Eastern Pennsylvania, gave
directions to physician in Erie to
take up the remains and send them to
Chester county for reburial. On OPEN
ing the grave the body was found in q
good state of preservation. 1t being
very difficult to forward the remains
by the routes and means of conveyance
then in use, he proceeded to cut the
flesh from the bones, boiled them in q
large iron kettle, and when properly
cleaned boxed them and forwarded
them as directed. These bones were
coffined and honorably buried at the
old home of the General in Eastern
Pennsylvania. The flesh, together
with two knives used in cutting the
flesh from the bones, were replaced in
the coffin in which the body was found,
and reburied in the original grave.
"The two knives, or all of them not
eaten by rust, are preserved in the
frame containing the remains of the
coffin-lid.
''The iron kettle in which the bones
were boiled is said to be an heirloom
in family living in the vicinity of
Erie.
"The old block-house passed away,
together with the flagstaff, and ali
traces of the Generals grave.
A few years ago the story of the re-
moval and. the circumstances attend
ing their dual burial came to light, and
search was made for the grave. An
old woman remembering the fact of his
burial at the foot of the flag staff point
ed out the location. Search was made,
remains of the decayed end of the flag
staff were found, and near it the unde-
cayed parts of the coffin and two knives.
So Gen. Anthony Wayne is honored
with q two-fold burial, his flesh in Erie
and his bones in Eastern Pennsyl-
vania."

"Don't Marry Him ~

''He is such tickle, inconstant fellow, you
will never be happy with him" said Esther's
friends when they learned of her engagement
to young man who bore the reputation Of
being sad fiirt. Esther. however knew that
her lover had good qualities, and she was
willing to take the risk. In nine cases out OF
ten it would have proved mistake; but
Esther was an uncommon girl and to every
ones surprise Fred made a model husband.
How was it? Well, Esther had cheerful,
sunny temper and great deal Of tact. Then
she enjoyed perfect health and was always so
sweet, neat and wholesome that Fred found
his own home most pleasant, and his own
wife more agreeable, than any other being.
As the year passed and he saw other women
of Esther's age grow sickly, faded and queru-
lous, he realized more and more that he had
"a jewel of wife," Good health was half
the secret of Esther's success. She retained
her vitality and good looks because she
warded of feminine weaknesses and all

1t will be seen by the above statistics
arrests for drunkenness for the
months Of prohibition is 63 in excess of
the number of arrests for the same
cause in the corresponding months of
the preceding year under a license law.
This condition of things would indicate
that temperance orators are most badly
needed in the prohibitory fields.n
This is certainly another demonstra-
tion that the Democratic theory of IL
cense is the correct one, and that its
adoption would lessen drunkenness.

Late Planted Corn.

By A. B. Allen. In order to have
green ears of corn into October for the
table and stalks for feeding the stock
I have for years past planted as late
as the first week in August. The sorts
used for this purpose have been the
dwarf sweet corn, such as grow their
stalks about five feet high. The past
August, not having seed enough to
plant all the ground prepared for the
crop, the last four rows were finished
with common Jersey field corn.
By the first and second weeks OF o.
tober the sweet corn produced ears
fit for the table, and full grown stalks
suitable for feeding and to cut
and cure for winter fodder. The Jer-
sey field sort then only just began to
tassel, and a high wind arising one
day, followed by drsnching rain,
nearly all the stalks were postrated
on the ground and there saturated
and soaked until the water could be
wrung from them by hand. But the
stalks of the sweet corn stood perfect
ly erect at this time, and when cut for
fodder were dried enough in three
days to be bound in sheaves and
stood on q hay NOV.
l shall be careful hereafter to plant
sweet dwarf corn instead of common
field corn, for the cattle and horses
much prefer it, and I believe it is the
most nutritious, although chemical
analysis of the two shows no appre-
cable difference. When the appetite
and DIGESTION of the animal seem to
conflict with the teachings OF the lab
oratory I take sides with the animal.

Feeding Buttermiik to Pigs.

In feeding pigs at the Wisconsin ag.
ricultural experimental station the
rule has been to allow one pound OF
cornmeal to every gallon of butter
milk. This serves the ration still
strong in the heterogeneous element nee
essary to promote growth. AS the
pigs advance in size and fat is more
desirable than growth, more corn
meal is added. This makes the food
more carbonaceous and causes the
hogs to lay on more fat.
In some experiment made at the
Massachusetts agricultural expert
mental station-counting cornmeal at
$28 per ton and buttermilk at 16
cents per 100 pounds-it was found
that pound OF pork, fed at first on a
slop made of IL ounces of cornmeal
for every gallon of buttermilk, cost
but 4.6 cents; but that after gradually
increasing the cornmeal until it reach
ed within a fraction of two pounds of
the meal to each gallon of the butter
milk, the cost of making pound OF
pork, amounted to 5.73 cents. This
latter was in the coolest part OF the
winter, and it was thought that the
difference in temperature (requirlng,
as it did, a more carbonaceous food)
accounted in great measure for the
difference in the cost OF the pork

Three generations ago a Ross-shire
Highlander put a shilling about some
part of his person and set his face
across the Scotch border. His name
was Mackenzie, and he amassed q
good fortune, and his grandson grew
into a mad doctor of much ability
but of retiring habits. To this physi-
clan, then living at Leytonstone, Eng
land. there was born, so years ago,

uncle who persisted very creditably in
the loss of the Pegasus. Young Nor

progressed we'll later took a high degree
at the University of London; abjured
the retiring habits of his father;
screwed brass plate on his door; and
took to looking down peoples
throats for guineas. His success in
private practice was great and imme-
date, and in a few years after setting
up, he could give to physicians who
had been established a lifetime a
score of patients and a beating. He
became q specialist. He wrote books
on Diseases of the Throat and Nose"
and on the "Hygiene of the Vocal Or
gans." He founded the hospital tor
diseases of the throat in Golden
Square, obtained all the professional
honors in general which throat and
nose can give, and became the special
champion of specialism in .medi-
cine as opposed to general routine; in
which capacity he largely developed
and amply displayedthe bellicose and
controversial predisposition he had
inherited from the original Highland
er. A few months ago he was called
in to deal with the throat Of the
crown prince Of Germany, which had
baffled all the German doctors; and
this he hid treated with such success

fine in bone, and possess juicy flesh
when cooked. For capons, a cross of

the best that can be made. A cross of
